    Hi All... :D

    Thought I'd better update you all. The Enbrel has now been stopped as I
    was having a site reaction to it. Very big one.

    So finally got the go ahead for Humira, which I started 2 weeks ago, I've just
    injected my second....................all I can say is ....WOW... :shock: I haven't felt
    this good in a year and a half.
    So I'm only hoping it will continue to work.. :)

      Hi,

      I will, I still ache a little but most of the horrid pain has gone into a
      subtle ache. I even managed half hour in the garden.... :D
      The fatigue has all but gone too.

      I haven't had a site reaction to it either..

      Yvette.

      Hurrah! This is what the meds are meant to do and it's pleasing that it has for you. Good luck with, I hope it lasts. DD

      Very pleased to hear a success story :) - less fatigue, now there's a happy thought.. can I ask how you got on with humira re side effects (my current meds *may* be losing their effectiveness so I am thinking well ahead & will be pestering any & all on here for their personal tales of anti-TNF).

      Hi toady,

      As of yet I haven't had any side effects from the Humira. I haven't had an
      injection site rash either, just a simple needle mark... :D
      So I'm hoping it will continue. I hope you find the some relief soon.

      Thanks for the reply Tinky, it's much appreciated. My current meds are working for now, it's just that I suspect they may be on the slide. Nice to hear you haven't had nasty side effects - for my own reference, but chiefly for your sake as well of course. thanks again.
